How did Mum & Dad Meet?

As children, when we asked Dad how they meet the story he told was he was on the beach at Worser Bay when she started chasing him down the beach. He had been out sailing and was a bit worn out. Unfortunately then he was not at his top speed so she managed to catch him. According to Dad that was the end of his sailing days.
